He's 2!!

Well... he's 2 and a month.. but close enough. :) I cannot believe my baby boy is already 2! Even weirder is that his baby sister is 8 months old! But back to Owen, I wanted to post about his birthday party since I never did that.

We decided to do a "smaller" party this year with just our immediate families and a couple of close friends (i.e. The Otey's). We went out to Aunt Josie's house and ate some of Aunt Bee's, Nana's and Papaw's goulash along with some beans (Matt's family calls them red beans... I call them pinto beans). We also had some yummy fruit salad, corn bread and other stuff, but you probably dont care about all the details. :) The theme of the party was Cars (the movie). I let Owen pick out his own theme and that's what he picked out the options at Wal-Mart. He almost went with Shrek, but settled on Cars instead. :)

His birthday cake was just a plain one because, of course, Kroger didnt have anymore of the Cars decorations and I waited to long to do it anywhere else. But it turned out fine. We bought some little toy cars and put them on top and he didnt know the difference! :) He got to blow out his candles and eat some cake and ice cream which he LOVED!

He also got lots of fun gifts. He was supposed to just get a playset (which he got!) but he also got lots of other gifts too. Thank you to everyone for being so sweet! I will post some photos of his playset next so you can see what he really got for his birthday. He LOVES it and when it's not raining, we try to play on it as much as possible. His thing lately is to just go up and down the ladder and swing. The boy loves to swing. I love it too, because I know it'll last a long time and will provide years and years of fun for him and Ella and whoever else joins our family down the road! :) (And the neighbor kids as well... They said it's the most awesome playhouse they've ever seen.) So thank you everyone for contributing to it and thank you Costco for having an affordable quality product available for us! :)

Well, I think that sums up the 2nd birthday details. If I forgot anything, I'll post them when I remember. :)
